2. Cutting

I cut these out in 3mm clear acrylic on the laser cutter at the hackspace.

3. Welding

Acrylic can be welded with a variety of other substances. I used acetone since I had it on hand and it’s not too scary to work with. Using a qtip, I applied some on all joints except the front panel. By putting the panels together and dabbing the qtip on the joint, the acetone gets wicked into the seams. There are other substances that are probably way stronger. I had to go over the joints a few times to get a solid joint.

4. Assembly

I rummaged around the hackspace and found these little bolt sets to hold it all together. The bolts are quite a bit too long. Maybe I’ll grind them down.
